ABSTRACT

Caso clínico: Mujer de 29 años con hemangiomas capilares retinianos (HCR) bilaterales. Ante la sospecha clínica de enfermedad de von Hippel Lindau (VHL), se realizan estudios genéticos que son negativos en 2 ocasiones. Se produce progresión de los HCR del ojo izquierdo, con aparición de membrana epimacular, que son tratados con láser, ranibizumab intravítreo y vitrectomía. Finalmente, el tercer estudio genético detecta una mutación de novo en el gen VHL que permite confirmar el diagnóstico. Discusión: El síndrome de VHL causa una enfermedad ocular compleja y de difícil diagnóstico que requiere tratamiento precoz de los HCR para modificar el pronóstico visual (AU)


Clinical case: A 29-year-old female with bilateral retinal capillary haemangiomas (RCH). A genetic analysis was carried out due to the suspicion of von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease, with negative results on 2 occasions. There was progression of the RCH in the left eye, leading to a macular epiretinal membrane. The patient was treated with laser, intravitreal ranibizumab, and vitrectomy. Finally, a third genetic test detected a de novo mutation in the VHL gene, and led to the genetic diagnosis. Discussion: VHL syndrome causes a complex ocular disease with a difficult diagnosis that requires early treatment of the RCH in order to modify its visual prognosis (AU)

ABSTRACT

CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente varón de 23 años sin antecedentes personales de interés que acude por traumatismo con rama de limonero en ojo derecho hacía dos días. En la biomicroscopia se observaba una erosión corneal central, un infiltrado estromal arboriforme blanquecino y un Tyndall +/++. El cultivo de raspado corneal fue positivo para Colletotrichum spp. El paciente respondió favorablemente a la anfotericina tópica. DISCUSIÓN: Colletotrichum spp. constituye una causa infrecuente de queratitis, secundaria generalmente a erosiones ocasionadas por productos de origen vegetal, y debe ser incluido en el diagnóstico diferencial de las queratitis fúngicas


CASE REPORT: A 23 years old male with an unremarkable past medical history suffered an injury with a branch of a lemon tree in the right eye two days prior to presentation. The slit-lamp examination showed a central corneal erosion with a white tree-shaped stromal infiltrate and Tyndall +/++ in anterior chamber. Cultivation of corneal scraping was positive for Colletotrichum spp. The patient responded favourably to topical amphotericin. DISCUSSION: Colletotrichum spp. is an uncommon cause of keratitis, usually secondary to corneal erosion caused by plant material and should be included in the differential diagnosis of fungal keratitis
